c THE GREATEST PREPARE TO FIGHT DREAD INFLUENZA. Physicians Unable to Control Disease. Dr. J. A. Hayne, State Health of' ficer, says that very soon plans will have been finished to meet any emer gency should there be an epidmic of influenza in this or any of the Southern States. At a recent meeting of the State health officers Dr. Ennioh G. W.lliams, State commissioner of health of Virginia, Dr. W. S. Rankin, State health officer of North Carolina and Dr. J. A. Hayne, State health officer of South Carolina, were appointed a committee to prepare plans to combat any epidemic of influenza should such occur. All physicians ready for service will be enrolled and so will be the trained nurses and those who have taken Re^ Cross training. When the plans are complete they will be filed for immediate use. Dr. Hayne says that the state is not now free from influenza. Three cases have been reported from Abbeville County in the last month, and one or two other cases have been reported. -2 tJtfyi. Dr. Hayne, when asked what preventive measures should be taken, said that the people could judge o.' that when they understood that influenza was what is known as a "spray bone" disease. It is spread by exhalations in the breath. As explained by him in breathing a person makes minute exhalations to the distance of about five feet. These exhalations when taken into the lungs of others cause infection. Persons should be careful to sneeze into their handkerchiefs and in coughing should cover their mouths. Protection from influenza may be had onl therefore in staying away from crowued assemblages, and in the use of proper gargles and sprays. In hir. address t0 the South Carolina Medical Association, Dr. Hayne said: "I do not know that we are much better off than the Italians were in the 17th century, who ascribed influenza to the influence of the stars. It is also ascribed to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. It has appeared at sea far away from communications with land. This occurred t0 Admiral Richard Kempenfelt. We note also being epidemics, one in 1847 which lasted about eight years, and another one in 1890, and it seems to prevail independently of climate, season or weather. It has nothing to do with a bad cold, but is an acute specific fever of unknown origin." Dr. J. Hevward Gibbs in a paper printed in The Journal of the Soath| Carolina Medical Association says: "One would think that in approxmately 400 years the lay mind would have been robbed of some of its mystification and superstitution associate^ with the outbreaks of influenza and that the medical profession would be unfailing in its recognition and somewhat proficient in its control. But such distinction can not be justly claimed. The very term 'influenza' implies ignorance and fear being simply the Italian equivalent for influence; and the same may be ?aid of the French designation of the disease( lagrippe. Peculiar atmospheric, conditions, meteoroligic and tellugic influences and the idea of a providential affliction upon a wicked world, which represent the gropings explanatory efforts of previous centuries have given place to thought of a poison disseminated by German activities, and fears of a worldwide epidemic of a bubonic plague in our 20th century. The records of our army camps and our bureaus of vital statistics too plainly establish the futility of our efforts of control.?The State. o DON'T GIN COTTON WHILE IT IS GREEN. Commissioner Harris Gives Farmers Some Good Advice. Columbia, S. C., Aug. 14.?Commissioner Harris has gone to Oklahoma to deliver a series of addresses in that state in the campaign to organize the American Cotton Association. Before leaving Mr. Harris gave out a statement in which he advises the farmers not to rush their cotton to the gin, and he advances his reasons there for. "I wish to urge the farmers" says Mr. Harris, not to gin the first picking of cotton while it is green. If they will pick it and put it away in a house and let it stay there for four ?? #i..~ ...in ui live weens lue nut win giuw auu get heavier and it will make a much 1 better sample. The ginners* report I will not be so big and it will have a I good effect on the market, both for cotton and seed. "I wish to beg the farmers not to | sell until the price goes above Go , cents. I have examined quite a good deal of cotton and I find that it has been drowned by too much rain and it cannot recover. By the 2oth of this) month deterioration will be great al -vomrl M ClAlVt SALE EVER HELD though it may not be noticeable in the next government condition report. "A great deal of cotton is now turn- 1 ing yellow and is shedding the young fruit. The cotton crop is going to be the shortest according to acreage than it has been in many years. j "Now the situation is entirely in the f farmer's hands, as to what price he ( will take for what he has on hand j and for what he grows this year. As 1 tothe 6,8000,000 surplus we read t [about in Secretary's Hester's report, t [it can't be found. We knew that the i bears would make desperate effort to j drive the market down just as the f new crop was getting on the market, i They have sold October very heavy i and they know that they will be call- i ed for delivery of actual cotton. Just f remember they don't spin board cot- t ton. "Again I say, sit steady in the t boat. Don't be bothered about these fluctuations, and keep your new cot- t ton out of the gin and your old cotton out of the market and things will come right for the farmer." o SALT FOR HOGS. Clemson College, August 20 ? T^iere has been a great prejudice among hog feeders against the use of salt in the ration, says D. W. Williams, of the Extension Service ani mal husbandry division. Many feed- c ers believe that the results will be ^ fatal if a hog is allowed e liberal j quantity of salt. During the past few * years this idea has been entirely dis- r aproved. Feeding tests conducted at Beltsville, Md., at the Iowa Experiment Station, and at other stations 0 have shown beyond a doubt that the v cheapest gains were made where the ? salt was self-fed. Many feeders use ? salt i na mineral mixture, with char- ? coal, wood ashes, lime and copperas. ? However, the quantity of salt In this s mixture is usually not sufficient, and y feeders would do we^ *? fee(* salt in ? a box by itself where it would always be available. There is some danger in y feeding salt in large quantities when ? the enimals are not accustomed to ' it. The amount fed should be small at first and gradually increased sr that there will be no danger of the ' hogs overeating on this feed.

To July 1 the army had reported 140,433 cases of disabled soldiers to the war risk insurance bureau. It was estimated that the final total would be close to 200,000. o Orangeburg Farmers Organize. Clemson College, August 16. ? Orangeburg County farmers are giving further evidence of their progressiveness in the movement to organize a livestock marketing association, the first of its kind in South Carolina. F. L. Harkey, field agent in marketing, has just returned from Orangeburg, where he and H. S. Johnson, district agent, and D. W. Williams, extension animal husbandman, . took pert in a meeting of farmers on August 13th to discuss and take preliminary steps in the organization, which was suggested by L. S. Wolfe, county agent. The plan is to have a stock company with a capital stock of say $5.000, and a paid manager who will sell all kinds of livestock and serve the organization in various ways to promote the livestock industry and the interests of the stockholders and tne people as a whole. Another meeting is to be held August 25th to perfect the organization, at which there will be present representation from several adjoining counties. An organization expert from the U. S. Bureau of Markets will attend to help in the work. o Discharged Soldiers. .las. Simmett, Lakeview. Walter H. Foxworth( Latta.

SMOKING TOBACCO > * FACTS FROM THE RN ENCYCLOPAEDIA The Use of Flavorings Determines Difference In Brands The Encyclopedia Britannica says about the manufacture of smoking tobacco: "... on the Continent and in America, certain 'sauces' are employed . .the use of the 'sauces' is to improve the flavour and burning qualities of the leaves." Which indicates that a smoker's enjoyment depends as much upon the flavoring used as upon the tobacco. Your nose is a sure guide in the matter of flavorings. Try this simple test with several tobacco brands: pour some tobacco into your palm, rub briskly, and smell. You wiil notice a distinct difference in the fragrance of every brand. The tobacco that smells best to you will smoke best in your pipe, you can rest assured. * * Carefully aged, old Burlev tobacco, plus a dash of pure chocolate, gives TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance your nose can quickly distinguish from any other tobacco.
